YandexMetrika is a Yandex service user-agent associated with the Yandex Metrica analytics platform. It appears when Yandex systems verify counters, process analytics-related requests, or validate site configurations tied to Metrica features. This traffic is not a web crawler and does not index content or collect pages for search. Requests are typically lightweight and focused on analytics endpoints, scripts, or verification resources. Blocking it may interfere with analytics functionality or data accuracy. Activity is low-volume and event-driven, triggered by site visits, analytics setup changes, or periodic system checks related to measurement and reporting. YandexMetrika does not observe the global or user-agent specific rules in robots.txt file. RobotSense.io verifies YandexMetrika using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexMetrika traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
